Your digital window seat for deep work. Block distractions & lock in with 40Hz focus audio.
Window Seat - Your Digital Window Seat for Deep Work Transform your browser into a peaceful productivity sanctuary. Block distracting websites, lock into focus mode, and enhance your concentration with 40Hz gamma audio—all wrapped in a cozy, warm interface that makes deep work feel effortless. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ WHAT MAKES WINDOW SEAT DIFFERENT? Most productivity tools feel cold and clinical. Window Seat is different. We've created a warm, inviting environment where focusing feels natural—not forced. It's like sitting by a window in your favorite coffee shop, completely absorbed in your work while the world goes by outside. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 CORE FEATURES 🪟 Cozy Study Dashboard Beautiful animated window view with warm colors and gentle animations that create a naturally calming focus environment. ⏱️ Real-Time Focus Timer Track your focus sessions with a clean countdown timer. Watch your progress and see exactly how much focused time you've invested. 🚫 Smart Website Blocker Block distracting websites during focus sessions. Pre-loaded with common distractions (Facebook, Reddit, YouTube), fully customizable to your needs. Blocked sites redirect you back to your focus dashboard. 🔐 Shame Phrase Protection Want to quit early? You'll need to type: "I am choosing distraction over my goals." This intentional friction gives you a moment to reconsider impulsive decisions and stay committed. 🎵 40Hz Gamma Focus Audio Backed by neuroscience research, our built-in 40Hz binaural audio enhances concentration and cognitive performance. The gamma frequency (40Hz) is associated with heightened alertness and improved focus. Toggle on/off based on your preference. 🔄 Optional New Tab Replacement Transform every new tab into a reminder to stay focused. Enable this optional feature to replace Chrome's default new tab with your cozy focus dashboard. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 HOW IT WORKS 1.
